Hey BTG,
I'm the guy to answer this one. I had the "exact" same scenario. I actually prefer driving cars to trucks and I had a Camry. I could get everything in with a case except for the kick drum. I took a chance on the Protection Racket bass drum bag. I can't even begin to tell you how great it's been. Man, their cases are nice! It's made real well. Keeps its form a bit so the kick will slide in and out w/out too much hassle. It's lightweight but built solid. I have their soft shell trapcase too. It's got skateboard wheels and it's also solid as a rock.
The only thing with soft shell cases is that they look so nice, you don't want to get 'em dirty. You've got to be a little more careful when there's dirt or mud around. As long as you're hauling them in your car, you'll be ok. If you need to put them in a box truck or other people will be hauling them, you should stay with hardshell to keep them from getting banged up.
